How your data is handled: phone and photos

Most of Sunny runs on Clear Day's own servers. This page covers the two places your data can go somewhere else, and the rules that apply there.

Features that run on your phone

On recent iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the first pass of five features runs entirely on the phone:

• Dictating a classroom event. See dictate classroom events.
• The recap in voice intake.
• Quick fill, which turns a typed note into the fields of an incident report.
• Quick fill for a planned-absence form.
• Caption suggestions when you log a photo for a room.

If the phone cannot run it, dictation goes to our server instead. The voice-intake recap you save is always written on our server; the on-device version is a preview. Quick fill and caption suggestions only appear on phones that can run them.

Voice recordings stay on the phone. The app turns speech into words on the device and sends only the words. There is no recording for us to hold.

Images

If you attach a photo to an ask, or photograph a form, that image goes to the model. That is the point of both. See scan a paper form.

Photo captions work differently. When a teacher logs a photo for a room, the app can suggest three captions. They are written from the selected children's first names and the teacher's own note, never from the picture. On a phone that can run it, that happens on the device, so neither the photo nor the note leaves it.
